What kind of fabric glows in ultraviolet light?

We usually post the FAQs in our blog to give comprehensive and detailed answers and tips. One of these questions is: “Which fabric glows in UV?”

The fluorescent textiles have a very bright glow in UV rays. The UV light activates specific micro-components in the structure of the fabric. As a result, textiles glow brightly in black light. Their color becomes 15-20 times more intense.  UV fabric usually has acid colors in the daylight. Light-green, red, and yellow colors draw attention even without UV glow. You can easily see this when the weather is sunny.
